3-D is a waste of a perfectly good dimension. Hollywood's current
crazy stampede toward it is suicidal. It adds nothing essential
to the moviegoing experience. For some, it is an annoying
distraction. For others, it creates nausea and headaches. It is
driven largely to sell expensive projection equipment and add a
$5 to $7.50 surcharge on already expensive movie tickets. Its
image is noticeably darker than standard 2-D. It is unsuitable
for grown-up films of any seriousness. It limits the freedom of
directors to make films as they choose. For moviegoers in the
PG-13 and R ranges, it only rarely provides an experience worth
paying a premium for.
